Speed up networked video_ts folders in Media Central

In Media Central, you can make alias links to video_ts folders on other drives, and play them back across the network. Unfortunately, making an alias from network driveMovie Title (this is the form the program uses -- the movie name as a top-level folder, and a video_ts folder underneath) slows the program to a crawl.

To speed it up, make the Movie Title folder local instead of an alias, then make an alias inside this folder to network driveMovie Titlevideo_ts instead! It helps speed things up quite a bit. I have a more rambling description (with another tip about categorizing) on my blog.
